However, those people didn't leave.

They remained standing in front of King Jing Zhen's palace gate.

Some elderly ministers even knelt there. "Your Majesty, a day and a night have passed and there is still no good news. Please don't hold any more hope! You should face reality!"

Jing Zhen had them all driven out.

Country A was located in a tropical region, and the sun outside was very harsh.

Hence, as these ministers dressed rather conservatively, standing outside like this was extremely hot for them.

Soon, they were all sweating profusely.

Jing Zhen paced back and forth in the palace, his dark peach blossom eyes showing a serious look for the first time.
